I think Kevin gets this privilege de facto because he is the one maintaining
the library. That some other person(s) should have a backed up copy of the
library would probably be prudent and has hopefully already been accomplished.

I don't have a problem if the profit is either for Kevin or to fund the
library. I suppose it depends on the amount of the profit in question, but
this remains speculative for now...

As stated elsewhere, I think it might be cool if Brickshelf made disks like
this itself and preempted others from doing so...again in the hopes of
funding the online library or giving Kevin some payback for the time he has
invested.
I think it goes without saying that the true owners of the scanned material
remains TLC. If someone scans something, they can probably do with it as
they will unless TLC objects. Kevin probably doesn't have standing to
pursue the matter.
